Chapter 45: Foster my son, protect me comprehensively

After the personal guard left, Li Ru walked up hesitantly.

"Prime Minister, I have something to report to the Prime Minister."

He dared to come up only when Dong Zhuo gets angry, otherwise he would not dare to touch this brow when Dong Zhuo was angry.

After killing Zhou Liyan and scaring all the officials to the point of being dissatisfied, Dong Zhuo's anger had disappeared a lot, and his gloomy face gradually closed.

"What's the matter?" Dong Zhuo said expressionlessly.

Li Ru bowed and whispered: "Prime Minister, our army has carried too many people, which will affect the speed of the march along the way. If the Kanto bandit army takes the opportunity to chase us, we will definitely suffer some losses. I suggest that we garrison large troops in Frostchit, Anyi and Huayin to prevent pursuit of the troops."

"In addition, people must be stationed in the northern bank of Luoshui. Once a coalition cavalry is found to be chasing him by detour, they can be effectively blocked."

The arrangements mentioned by Li Ru almost fully implement the defense in all directions of the southeast, southwest and northwest. As long as someone dares to catch up, they will definitely be discovered by Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army, which will reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles by then.

Dong Zhuo agreed to Li Ru's arrangement after thinking about it.

After Li Ru left, Lu Bu also came over under the guidance of his personal guard.

At this time, Lu Bu had already learned about Dong Zhuo's assassination, and he felt a little uneasy when he heard Dong Zhuo tell him to go over.

Could it be that Dong Zhuo suspected that he was a co-conspirator?

But Wu Qiong doesn’t have much interaction with him!

It should be something else, right? Lu Bu thought.

However, the first sentence Dong Zhuo said after seeing Lu Bu made Lu Bu's face change drastically.

"Fengxian, you and Xiaolian have already met each other many times."

Xiaolian is Dong Zhuo's maid.

Obviously, Lu Bu and Xiaolian thought their secret secrets were actually exposed to Dong Zhuo's noses.

Lu Bu panicked and quickly knelt down: "Entertainment father, the child is wrong, the child will never dare to do it again!"

If it is an ordinary maid, it doesn't matter if someone discovers it. At worst, it can be taken as a concubine, but the maids in Dong Zhuo's mansion are different.

Dong Zhuo himself is an old man. The maids he selected are naturally all candidates with good looks and figure. These maids are usually responsible for taking care of Dong Zhuo's daily life and will also be responsible for Dong Zhuo's daily life if necessary. They can be regarded as a group of Dong Zhuo's namesake concubines, especially the little lotus.

Xiaolian's appearance is the most outstanding among maids, otherwise Lu Bu would not have been favored by Lu Bu. But it is precisely because Xiaolian is the most beautiful maid in Dong Zhuo's mansion that Lu Bu was so scared that he kneeled down directly.

Dong Zhuo was assassinated just now, and was obviously angry. At this time, he exposed his affairs with Xiaolian, and he probably wanted to offend him! Even if he doesn't die, he will have to lose his skin!

"Entertainment father, my child is confused for a moment. Please give me kindness!" Lu Bu was so anxious that he kowtowed to the ground a few times. When he raised his head, he had already stuck a lot of mud on his forehead.

He wanted to win Dong Zhuo's sympathy.

However, Dong Zhuo didn't come to ask for guilt when he asked him to come over. Now that he saw Lu Bu being so afraid of him, Dong Zhuo couldn't help feeling a little satisfied.

So what if you can gallop among thousands of troops? When you come to me, you can only kneel down and kowtow, shake your tail and beg for mercy!

Thinking of this, the haze of the assassination before was cleared away a lot.

"Haha, don't panic, my son, I'm not here to ask for guilt for my father." Dong Zhuo said with a chuckling.

When Lu Bu heard that Dong Zhuo was not asking for guilt, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Since you and Xiaolian fall in love with each other, how could I stop you as your father?" Dong Zhuo said, paused for a moment and continued, "Let's do this, find time to connect Xiaolian into the mansion, and you won't have to hide in the future."

Xiaolian is just a maid. Dong Zhuo has favored her in the past, but only a few times. There are so many women in the mansion and the harem, and it is not a matter of one word that he wants to play.

Besides, a little lotus can be exchanged for Lu Bu's loyalty, which is much cheaper than a Red Rabbit Horse!

Sure enough, after hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Lu Bu showed a surprise expression on his face, and then he said, "Thank you, my son!"

He nodded with satisfaction, and Dong Zhuo continued, "I believe you know the news of someone assassination just now. For this national plan, my father has been jealous of the traitor. There may be someone who will attack my father in the future. So from today on, you must always protect me and make plans after stability."

After twisting around for a long time, Dong Zhuo finally expressed his purpose.

Lu Bu was stunned at first, but when he saw Dong Zhuo's sharp eyes, he had to respond even if he was unwilling to do so.

"The child will keep his adoptive father safe."

When Lu Bu's request was met, his heart was bleeding.

Guardian!

This is worse than the chief clerk!

Even when he was the chief clerk, Lu Bu was able to move freely, but when he became a guard, he could only stay by Dong Zhuo's side all day long.

What is the difference between this and going to jail?

As a general who once galloped outside the border, Lu Bu's wish for his life was to lead troops across the battlefield, and this wish was obviously unfulfilled by the guards. It can be said that after agreeing to Dong Zhuo's guard request, Lu Bu not only lost the opportunity to lead troops to fight, but also his future became dim.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu felt like a knife. He had just received Xiaolian's joy and was completely discarded. He even complained to Xiaolian. If it weren't for this woman, how could he not even have the chance to refuse?

However, Lu Bu felt extremely unwilling. Dong Zhuo had already decided to serve as a guard. Dong Zhuo only gave him half a day to arrange the family affairs, and then he had to protect Dong Zhuo at all times.

After arranging Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo began to think about another question, that is, the speed of the team moving forward!

It was too chaotic on the road. Untouchables gathered together and officials whispered together. They wanted to plan a few conspiracies and could discuss them casually. This situation was very dangerous.

You must arrive in Chang'an sooner before you have time to stabilize the situation and kill the danger.

If you want to increase your speed of moving forward, you must speed up the pace of the people. So under Dong Zhuo's order, the Xiliang army, which was originally surveillance on both sides, began to intersperse into the people's team in batches.

From a high altitude, the originally continuous long dragons of people were separated by black square arrays, looking like fish and shrimps cut off on the chopping board.

This adjustment caused a stir in the people's group, and many soldiers took the opportunity to rob the people and bully women, but no matter what, the speed of the entire team has indeed improved to a certain extent.

The people who were divided into sections had to speed up their pace under the drive of the soldiers in the rear. The old and weak who could not walk would be stabbed to death by the cruel Xiliang soldiers on the spot. They would not slow down their pace of moving forward if their relatives beg for pain.

The speed of the march has indeed accelerated, but the soldiers guarding Dong Zhuo on both sides have been disrupted and dispersed. If they encounter a surprise attack, it will be very dangerous.

However, Dong Zhuo believed that the soldiers sent by Li Ru could detect pursuers in advance, so he didn't take them seriously.

......

Pan Feng and others didn't know anything about what happened to Dong Zhuo.

At this time, they had already approached Luoyang after a day of rushing. If the road along the way had not been destroyed by Dong Zhuo, their speed would have been faster.

Through Luoshui, Pan Feng and others looked into Luoyang in the distance.

At this moment, Luoyang City is like a huge bonfire in the dark. The raging fire illuminated half of the sky and the area around Luoyang, but it made Pan Feng and others feel heavy.

I really can't save it anymore. This kind of fire rushing up is no different from dying.

"We will stay away from here as soon as possible, set up a place to camp, and we must arrive in Yiyang tomorrow!" Pan Feng said.

Thanks to the fire in Luoyang City illuminating the surrounding areas, Pan Feng and others were able to walk for another time at night, otherwise they would have stayed next to such a large bonfire for one night, and the horses would probably be so hot the next day.

No words all night.

The next day, after a night of rest, Pan Feng and others were more energetic. After eating and drinking, they continued to move west along the Luoshui River.

Until the sun was about to set, they finally saw the city of Yiyang.

After seeing the city, Pan Feng directly led his army to launch an attack. Yiyang City, which had only more than a hundred people guarding, did not resist at all and directly opened the city to surrender to Pan Feng.

After taking down Yiyang, Pan Feng ordered the closing of the city gates everywhere, and at the same time, Zhang He sent people to guard all places and prevented Yiyang City from spreading news to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuoyue received the news later and was more beneficial to Pan Feng's form.

Early in the morning of the third day, Pan Feng left 300 people to station in Yiyang, and the rest went toward the central Hongnong area with him.

When Pan Feng's team had been walking about fifty miles, the whistle cavalry came to report that they had found traces of large troops.
